Version of the B777-300ER
We're booked economy class on Emirates flight EK238 out of Boston for Dubai. It's a B777-300ER. Does anyone know what version this aircraft is? Is it a 2 class configuration (economy and business) or is it a 3 class configuration (economy, business, first)? On SeatGuru it states that the 2 class has 34 inch seat pitch in economy while the 3 class has 32 inch pitch in economy. A big difference for a 12 hour flight.

ULR flights like BOS, SEA, IAD, GRU or ADL requires a 777/300ER with a crew rest area.
Those are the birds with Y304; the ones without crew rest area have Y310.
All 777/300ER (with 3 classes) delivered since December 2011 have Y310.

This also is consistent with the trend of EK deploying their A380s to those North American routes as capacity justifies it rather than getting more/newer 77Ws with crew rest.
So older ICE Widescreen models for the time being...

Just a small correction here: "all US flight are ULH"
The flight DXB-MXP-JFK is not a ULH flight, because there`s a crew change in
MXP.
Most of the times; this flight is operated by a 777/300ER without the crew rest area.
